Discuss.

[New Tet]

You got bounced out of a bar? Wow.

[Pirate turtle the 11th]

It's not as exciting as it sounds.

[New Tet]

I suppose not.

I was going to say "bummer!" but all that came out was a very American "Wow".

You would have heard me say it had I been standing nearby, trust me.

Aye like every walk of life, only difference is that Bouncers are in a position of power.
I remember listening to Joe Duffy there during the summer and there were random punters on saying that they are refused entry to most Temple Street pubs, clubs and restaraunts because of their accent, basically if its a working class Dublin accent.
Bouncers actually started ringing up then and saying that they were specifically told to refuse Dubs with working class accents even though they spoke with the same accent. :confused:

[Sasha]

thats like the only way to 100% gurantee to NOT be let in with me.
i realy get offended if i bounce somebody and they start offering money. And then they always think its not enough (instead of that i'm not for sale) and start raising the offer and then they are realy suprised that i get mad and kick them away.
if you ever want to get past me, just ask nice, thats the best change you have.
oh, and i'm an sucker for a good (bulshit) story.

anyway, at my work we only bounce people who are realy drunk/otherwise heavy intoxicated, the agresive, people kicked out before, and nazi's (and minors (under 18) during club nights). oh, and when its sold out offcourse, thats when you get the crazy offers.
its quite shocking actualy to reguraly see imigrant kids who come to our club for the first time to be all suprised when they are NOT bounced... they realy walk up with already the expactation to be rejected. and if i then emiditly step aside and welcome them in all friendly they some times even ask if i'm bullshitting them.
really really sad.

the thing that has been ticking me off recently is the brazen way girls offer them self for favours (free entrance, geting away with getting cought with drugs, getting backstage etc).
i mean, i can understand you would use your body in extreme circumstances but i'm amazed at how cheap girls go. realy shocking.

Well look at him, he's all round and yellow, he's probably very bouncy.

[Pogue]

I find it quite funny when I get rejected by the bouncers, cos seeing as I'm not actually 18 I have no reason to be offended when they say I look too young. I prefer pubs to clubs, and it fucks me off when the pubs have bouncers too, underage drinking is a thriving social tradition.

[Jazzratt]

The only time I've ever been bounced I really deserved it. I was amazingly drunk and hitting on everyone in the building (mixed with fact I was also completely asping out and completely unable to take a hint even the kind that gets through to drunk people. Things like "I'm not gay, mate" and "Just fuck off will you") I then threw up on the floor and, the crowning glory was when I then upchucked on the bouncer. I'm barred for life there (although I don't remember where "there" is) and I'm surprised I wasn't roughed up a bit.

Christ I'm glad I'm not still underage, underage drinking was so much simpler back in the day. Then people were supposed to ID you if they thought you were under 18, not under 25. Do I sound old?

[Dr Mindbender]

the only time a bouncer really pissed me off when i got bounced for looking 'too young' and not having id ( i was 24 at the time with full stubble ffs). So i go home to get my passport- a 4 mile round journey on the bus and on my second attempt at entering they let me in without batting an eyelid or even asking for id.

nah, thats not my name, thats the name of the guy i stole the pic from via google search.

anyway, image fixed.

[Pavlov's House Party]

i went to celebrate my birthday with some comrades at a bar we don't go to a lot anymore, and it was fucking shit.
they made people wait in line to pay 2$ coat check (it was mandatory), the price of pitchers went up a dollar every hour, and the real topper was when i got kicked out because they were making room for a lineup of fucking underage teenagers with fake IDs outside, under the pretenses that i was too drunk

[Искра]

I never got bounced (cause I don't go to clubs) I just found myself in the middle of fight with bouncers in Amsterdam when I was on school trip. What happened? Well one guy came to my friend and asked him if he wont to buy some mushrooms. My friend said no, and guy took his knife and said give me 20€. My friend punched in the head him with the bottle. Next thing I know 2 guys were beating him and I and my other friend jumped in to save him. While "juping in" my other friend throw his bottle and hit one bouncer who joined the fight. Unfortunately, bouncer was a big fat man who started to beat me screaming some shit in some strange language... Yeah, I manage to survive.

Next day my 3rd friend got robbed by some hippies in Vondelpark. But we manage to beat them up. Fuckers.

Amsterdam is cool town :)

Tbh, I tend to get along well with bouncers, but that could be because I try and be polite with most people, especially if I don't know them. The issue of being bounced out a bar/pub/club/whatever because you're intoxicated is ridiculous, but it's the fault of the bar owner/manager and the state. Afterall, in Britain for example, a bar owner may well get sued, or get closed down if someone harms themself whislt drinking on the premises, the reason for this being that bar tenders can't actually sell any booze to pissed people (yeah, it's a fucking bar, people are gunna get pissed), and so the easiest way to deal with drunkards is to kick them out, as opposed to actually taking care of them (because this would waste money: wages for the carers, 'chill out' space etc.).

I remember being kicked out a club when I was 17 at about 4 in the morning. Someone put G in my drink, and being really wasted already and probably overdosing slightly, I went into a right state and passed out. They took care of me in the medics cabin and were really nice, but when I woke up (still pissed & off my face) and they asked me how old I was, I told them the truth (being the pissed eejit I was) and they chucked me out because if something happened to me on their property, the owners, and I'm sure the staff would be out. So I had to wait in the middle of Winter huddled in a corner outside the club, still off my face, waiting for the buses to start running again so I could actually get home. It's a problem with the law, and the owners :tt2:

Fuck clubs anyway, they're shit (unless I'm already wasted).

And these are the practical conclusions to how the drinking age is enforced, never change heavy-handed law and order bs.

euhm isnt it sensible that its not alowed to to give alcohol to people who already had so much that would become an danger to themselfs or others?
i dont want an ax store selling axes to ax-murderes.
and i do think you as an bar should also have an responsibility to say, "dude, i think you had enough, i think you should go home, i'm not gonna serve you more".
although i occasionaly use the "sorry its the law" argument to bounce heavily intoxicated people, in all fairness i dont care much about the law but i do it because A. i dont want to be responisble if they hurt themself or others and B. i dont want to deal with them either misbehaving (getting agrisive/groping) or passing out/puking wich fucks up the atmosphere in the venue i'm working.

[Patchd]

euhm isnt it sensible that its not alowed to to give alcohol to people who already had so much that would become an danger to themselfs or others?
It is, you're right, I wasn't suggesting that a completely wasted person should continue to get served. I didn't use to serve absolutely hammered people when I worked in a pub, simply because I didn't want to deal with any possible trouble stemming from me feeding punters more booze than they can obviously handle, but I explained that to them most of the time and just told them to go sit down for a while and sober up, and then come back if they wanted to.

[Spawn of Stalin]

Sorry what does it mean to "get bounced"? Is it just like getting kicked out by the bouncers? Or like getting forcefully removed? What is it? You'll forgive my ignorance as I don't drink and don't really go to pubs any more.

[Patchd]

The page on urban dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bounce) on this suggests it just means exiting a premise, although I've only heard/used the term when referring to getting taken off the premises by a bouncer.

yeah, i do that too, if an nice person shows up that is too drunk i tell them to walk around for an hour, sober up in the fresh air and try it again later.

for me bounced means not being let in at all/refuced entrance, i.e. not getting passed the bouncer (bounced back). "getting taken off the premises by a bouncer" is just called trown out.

[The Ungovernable Farce]

I used to work security at a concert venue. I was never an asshole to anyone unless they REALLY deserved, i.e. 6 foot 300 pound drunk guy bumping into everybody.

I remember a lesbo-rock(before you think I am being homophobic, you should have seen the audience) band member was freaked out when she saw me reading that I was reading a special forces guerrilla warfare manual.

been there done that, at the autonomous center i used to volunteer i once almost got lynched by an whole group of feminists because i was wearing a shirt of the "union for excotic dancers", took some effort to convince them that it was actualy from an excisting union and some friends of were members when they were still working at an workers-collectivly owned stripclub in SF.

[Wanted Man]

You have no idea how disturbing it feels to confirm that some of these forums are being moderated by teenagers. No idea.

I dunno. I always find it funny how most of the members are teenagers, but almost all admins are over 25, and some over 40 years old.

Anyway, ontopic: I've never had any problems when going out. Not now, and not when I was 16 going to >18 or >21 clubs with older friends.

The trick is to get your own watering hole in your area, preferably with a bit of shelter and get a drum so you can have a fire.
Its actually far more enjoyable cheaper than pubs where a pint costs 4.50 and you cant smoke with your pint.
Pubs are over rated.

On the 'bounced' thing though, you're probably right, I only picked it up off a couple of bouncers who came and went from the club next door.

[Iskra1916]

Yeah, some of the cvnts i worked with had got that sorta attitude - wankers!

[Iskra1916]

The second last club i worked the door on i got sacked for chinning the manager, which they tend to frown upon...:D

I would never go back to that type of work again. Management pack a club to twice the safe levels, fill everyone full of booze then expect you to throw them out once they become a 'problem' and after they have probably blown the £60 they had to spend.

guess so, not with me though.
the venue i work several of the bouncers are (ex-)activist, and the company i do summerfestivals with i think the numbers reach 80%

When it comes to the hierarchy of contempt, I have more disdain for the bailiff than the bouncer. A Bouncer sometimes seperates fights that could have ended really badly. Your bailiff is just a straight up state-endorsed bully boy thief.
